It is beyond me how anyone can defend a law as outright STUPID as the "Stand Your Ground Law". The only reason any politician would even vote for a law as inane as this is because the NRA contributes to their election with the sole intent of making some money in return. Why isn't that point being pushed in the dialog about the NRA. They serve NO purpose whatsoever except to stuff their own pockets and they couldn't care less who might get killed in the process.
But that is another point for another day. Here, I just want to follow this particular stupid law to its logical conclusion.
George Zimmerman, self appointed neighborhood watch creep, is hiding behind this brainless legislation and has not been arrested. However, let's consider if things were just slightly different and Trayvon was also armed. The mindless law would then be in Trayvon's favor because it was he who was "truly" threatened.
So what does this all lead to?
Apparently there are enough people in this country who believe that we should all be armed at all times and we should be seeing a lot more "showdowns" on every street corner every day just like back in the old wild west. Wouldn't that be just wonderful?
Is this what they think would make this a better country. I wish we could go back and speak with the people that lived that way 120 years ago. How can anyone in their right mind believe this is the way it SHOULD be?
If this ignorant, mindless, brainless, stupid redneck attitude is the way our Republican politicians think our country should be then maybe we should just leave it to the NRA and wait for them all to kill each other and then move back.
I don't know how I got through this without cussing.
Yippee Ki Yay, y'all
